Convoy to Jool III

Going again

Anny: Do you read me Halo? Come in Halo?
Thomrod: We hear you. Do you want me to get Bill for you?
Anny: Not necessary. Just tell him we're going to Vall...
Thomrod: Uh? I thought we were supposed to go first?
Anny: We are in position now so you better get going then.

Towards Vall

The Mint Julep was headed for Vall - the third moon orbiting Jool. The base and supply time would be stationed there.

A little behind

Bill was furious. The policy was "Halo first, Mint Julep to follow", but Anny had taken the smaller ship and headed for Vall early. Bill couldn't leave, they still had research to do.

Releasing the probes

Someone back att KSC had messed up. The first probe container was empty. The second probe was packed backwards.

What now?

The third probe functioning properly.

Headed for Jool

The probe leaving for the heart of the gas giant.

Going for gas

They already knew that the main component of Jool is kethane, but what is the rest of the planet made up?
